 or raceme. Heads 6-8 mm. long, about 9 mm. in diameter, ovate in 

 outline. Involucral bracts about 8, 4'5 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, oblong, 

 acuminate, acute, glabrous, with membranous margins. Ray-florets 

 female ; corolla tube 2 mm. long, cylindric, glabrous ; limb 4 mm. 

 long, 2 mm. broad, oblong or elliptic-oblong, faintly 3-toothed at the 

 apex, 4-nerved. Ovary 1'3 mm. long, obovate-oblong in outline, 

 slightly compressed, glabrous, with a narrow membranous marginal 

 wing; style 3 mm. long; lobes '75 mm. long, linear. Disc-florets 

 hermaphrodite. Corolla-tube 4 mm. long, cyliudric, 5-nerved, glabrous ; 

 lobes '5 mm. long, oblong or ovate-oblong, obtuse. Stamens inserted
